Very glad to see this work www.nature.com/articles/s41... by the @savitski-lab.bsky.social out @natsmb.nature.com High hopes that HT-PELSA will be a very useful tool to study protein-ligand interactions.

Postdoc position available in my lab in Jena (Germany. jobs.leibniz-fli.de/jobposting/6... If you're interested in protein biochemistry of amyloid proteins and chaperones, this job may be for you. B2 Level German is required as the candidate will be involved in teaching in German.

'In this manuscript, we show that tag fusions often change protein expression to a degree that is highly dependent on cell and tissue context. We characterise two underlying mechanisms, providing information that should help others to design more effective transgenic strategies'

On that note: hello world! My new lab on genetics of proteome remodeling is starting at the incredible MPI-CBG. We have big plans and open positions for PhD students and an RA. Apply now (!) at imprs.mpi-cbg.de and tinyurl.com/2vywj6f6 respectively.

Just out in @science.org: Together with the lab of @wilhelmpalm.bsky.social, we used sequential in-vitro/in-vivo CRISPR screens to decipher metabolic adaptations in tumors. We find that acidosis is a dominant factor that shapes energy metabolism and stress resilience. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The proteasome-substrate-shuttle protein UBQLN2 contains—like other quality control system proteins—a long region devoid of lysine (a lysine desert) Martin Grønbæk-Thygesen (from @rhp-lab.bsky.social) et al show that introducing K here causes ubiquitylation and degradation doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Science has lost a GIANT and the world has lost one of the kindest most inspiring people I had the pleasure of knowing. Just an extraordinary man whose curiosity was infectious and whose dry wit will always be memorable- RIP John www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...

I’ve already highlighted this landmark #lipidtime paper by @nadlerlab.bsky.social & colleagues, but ICYMI, do read André’s thread — this study is a huge leap forward in understanding the logic of intracellular lipid flux & is a phenomenal example of #chembio probes 🤝 quantitative imaging 🤝 modeling!

Happy to share our work on the structure and function of the unusual E3 ligase ZNFX1 @cp-cell.bsky.social. It uses a nucleic acid-activated transthiolation mechanism, ubiquitinating and clustering RNA to protect cells in an immune response. @clausenlab.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

big one! a decade in the making. nadler & team develop tools to track lipid transport in living cells at single-species resolution. turns out non-vesicular, asymmetry-driven transport is the main architect of organelle identity. feels like the dawn of a golden era for lipid biology. rdcu.be/eBGJv

My PhD paper is in press @cellpress.bsky.social and now online: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...! Contents: weird #NPCs in yeast and flies, #CLEM, in situ #cryoET and more! Made possible by the amazing @becklab.bsky.social team at @mpibp.bsky.social and collaborators! #TeamTomo

Excited to share our latest work with @simonbullock11.bsky.social! We looked at how diverse mRNAs get selected for subcellular localization and it turns out that a single protein can recognize different RNA elements using shared features that weren’t apparent before. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
